How many records of Williams's music have been sold thus far?

I sometimes see figures such as "4 millions of Star Wars OST albums sold", "30 millions of albums of Titanic sold", or about Morricone's total being over 60 million...

 

And I wonder what do we know about JW's total sales figure.

Here are his certifications in Canada and USA:

 

I counted quickly, maybe near 10 millions in the USA in certifications?

 

It's not Britney Spears, but JW is definitely among the film music album best seller in the world.

The soundtrack from The Phantom Menace itself has sold over 1.5 million copies. But probably more, because only some countries are listed here.

In the 70s, STAR WARS sold 3 million units, making it 6 million records.

CLOSE ENCOUNTERS OF THE THIRD KIND, SUPERMAN, and E.T. were all big sellers.

Offhand, I'd estimate that his entire sales are in the region of 40-50 million. It's  not The Beatles, but it's damn respectable.

Now, if you add to that the fact that his music is heard on videos, D.V.D.s, and Blu Rays, that number could easily be tripled.
